Signal is looking for a specialist in Information
Retrieval, Natural Language Processing, or Machine Learning who can
help develop the technology needed to drive our new information
service. Signal is creating a product that allows our clients to
receive a feed of information based on very specific and complex
requirements (e.g. “All the news related to IPOs of European
technology companies”). We are building this technology using
cutting-edge algorithms for different information processing tasks
in collaboration with leading universities. The next steps in the
business will focus on how users can discover new information by
navigating through all our information and automatically generating
actionable insights from it. The successful candidate will join our
research team whose main goal is to analyze, implement, and
experiment with different algorithms to solve or improve solutions
to various challenges such as summarization, clustering, and event
detection. How we work: We currently have a team of 15 people from
diverse functional backgrounds (mainly developers and researchers)
that work closely together to bring this project forward. We
combine technology from several research fields, including machine
learning, natural language processing, and information retrieval.
We also work in close collaboration with several universities and
encourage the publication of research results from the team in
academic conferences. As an example, we have just presented an
industry talk and a demonstration (which won the best demonstration
award) in ECIR 2015. We are based in Second Home, a vibrant and
innovative working space in the heart of London. Candidate
background: A successful candidate will need to be able to propose,
implement, and evaluate solutions to real-world requirements while
being able to work in a team of developers and researchers. We are
looking for a candidate who is ambitious, entrepreneurial, and
ready to buy into the long-term vision of this company. The ideal
candidate should be highly technical, have strong analytical
skills, share our innovative values, and be self-motivated.
